I just talked with my dad and he is going to be passing all of his Canon film gear to me. So who out there is still doing film? Where can you buy film? Get it developed?

I'm thinking of just doing Black and White just for the fun of it. It may not be until I visit him latter this year before I get it but when I do I'll let you know what all I get I know there are at least 3 lenses, one is a 300mm. Should be fun.

Im doing film... but mostly medium format black and white film. B/W is the easiest to develop, when it comes to color film I just send them away to get to processed.

u can still buy film, I think from B&HPhoto and Adorama.

I would recommend Kodak Tri-X 400 and Ilford Delta 400 for B/W. And Kodak Portra 400, Fujifilm Velvia for Color.

Though I still have to get a scanner ^^... I only have a Durst enlarger at home at the moment

Did a bit of film some months ago, its actually quite fun and a bit more exciting since you have to wait for the results

You can get cheap 35mm film from Amazon, the ISO 200 stuff from Fujifilm is quite alright! (Color film is cheaper and easier to develop, usually.)However after that you also have to pay for the development, but I think that might be quite cheap still in the US. The last bit is scanning the film to a digital format, there is a lot of second hand film scanners on the market so that is not a huge problem.

Canon A1Canon 28mm f/2 S.S.C(Used a simple flatbed scanner, which does not do the film justice.)Don't remember which film, can check later.

Now that Im 27 and I teach photography at the high school level, I was able to get hold of a OM-1 in almost ALMOST pristine condition. I Normally shoot B/W or Velvia. Unfortunately good or useable film is only sold by some dedicated camera stores in Australia and its expensive, but the cheaper film is expiring kodak 400 colour film in supermakets.

I almost had film disintegrate in my hands as I pulled it out to insert into my OM1 - luckily I held camera enough away to avoid some of the flecks entering the rear chamber. Unfortunately it went all over my carpet - I never knew film could ever disintegrate like that. Im sure the supermarket I bought it from had it for years and probably kept it next to a heater or something to get so dry.

B/W is easiest to develop. Color is a bit trickier, because color film is very sensitive to chemical temperature. But this is if u process it yourself.

I'd love to get a film camera to mess around with. It would be quite good for some landscapes. Does anyone know if i could use my current lenses on a Canon film camera using an adapter? However I don't know where I would get it developed apart from jessops which I doubt is very good

Sorry, I missed some words in that sentence, it seemed to me when searching around a few months ago that very few places still develop black and white film. So hence easier to get color film developed ^^

I think our friend here might be confusing the name of his camera with the type of mount, given that he says AE, which is indeed one of the old and popular Canon 35mm film cameras, similar to the one I have, I think that is what he has gotten from his father. However like Jiko says, it very probably has the late FD mount found on Canon 35mm SLR's from that region.

I've found a few FD to EF adapters so I could use my lenses. I know I'll loose autofocus but I am not that worried about it since it will mostly be used for landscapes. Might have to see if I can pick up a used Canon film camera for a fairly cheap price

I have recently started using film again. I did not own any serious film cameras before I started using digital. I did develop B&W film at school, as a journalism student back in the 1970s. I have posted very little about my recent use of film, as there is so very little for me to say, yet.
